The following table provides information regarding Toyota’s finance receivables and operating leases as of March 31, 2007 and 2008.<br />
Retail Financing<br />
Toyota’s finance subsidiaries acquire new and used vehicle installment contracts primarily from Toyota dealers. For instance, in the United<br />
States, approximately half of the used vehicle contracts acquired are certified Toyota used vehicle contracts which relate to vehicles purchased by<br />
dealers, reconditioned and certified to meet specified Toyota standards. These vehicles are then sold with an extended warranty from Toyota.<br />
Installment contracts acquired must first meet specified credit standards. Thereafter, the finance company retains responsibility for contract<br />
collection and administration. Toyota’s finance subsidiaries acquire security interests in the vehicles financed and can generally repossess<br />
vehicles if customers fail to meet their contractual obligations. Almost all retail financings are non-recourse, which relieves the dealers from<br />
financial responsibility in the event of repossession. In most cases, Toyota’s finance subsidiaries require their retail financing customers to carry<br />
automobile insurance on financed vehicles covering the interests of both the finance company and the customer.<br />
Toyota has historically sponsored, and continues to sponsor, special lease and retail programs by subsidizing below market lease and retail<br />
contract rates.<br />
Retail Leasing<br />
In the area of retail leasing, Toyota’s finance subsidiaries acquire new vehicle lease contracts originated primarily through Toyota dealers.<br />
Lease contracts acquired must first meet specified credit standards after which the finance company assumes ownership of the leased vehicle. The<br />
finance company is generally permitted to take possession of the vehicle upon a default by the lessee. Toyota’s finance subsidiaries are<br />
responsible for contract collection and administration during the lease period. The residual value is normally estimated at the time the vehicle is first<br />
leased. Vehicles returned to the finance subsidiaries at the end of their leases are sold by<br />
